Subaru WRX Gas tank warning

Filed under: review — Tags: , , , , — Samer Forzley @ 2:33 pm

What is that saying, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. How about 3 times

Well it happened again, so shame on me but i am so used to my old car. You know, you pull up to the gas pump and start pumping, and then when the gas tank is full, the thing clicks off.

Now i don’t know about you, but i have this thing where i want to keep pumping until i have an even dollar amount. So lets say i put gas and the tank took $29.37 well i deally i would like to keep pumping (slowly) until i hot $30 or at least a nice number like $29.50 or $29.75. Silly I know, but that is me, are you like that? I should do a poll on this…. hmmm

Anyway, here is my WARNING: Do not do this with your WRX.

Apparently when the WRX is full, it really means it. unlike my other car, i swear i can go for a whole dollar after its “full”. With the WRX, you got pennies at best.

3 times now. I am not kidding 3 times now. I am pumping, and while i am trying to watch the numbers on the pump, trying to make sure that i dont go over. Like, it will be a moral disaster if i hit $30.01. I look down, and gas is gushing out of the tank. All over, what a mess. And now I am all worried that forever more i have damaged the car :) because it has gas spilling over it. Off i go into the car wash again…

On the possitve side, i must have the cleanest WRX265 out there :)

Taking the WRX to the track

This weekend I am going to take the car to a local race track. The track opens up to the public on the weekends. You can go there and basically drag against, well against anyone who shows up, could be bike, could be a ferrari, could be a 1960 bettle. The track also lets you do quarter mile runs and 0 – 60 clocks.

Should be fun, plan to go take pics etc… and see what the 265 horses can put out.
